a remote SmartServer you have added to the LAN) via the LNS Proxy Web service. To do this,
follow these steps:
a. Verify that EES 2.2 and OpenLNS Server have been installed on your computer. See Chapter
1 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for how to perform these installations.
b. Verify that you have added an OpenLNS Server to the LAN that contains the OpenLNS
network database in which the network variable or configuration property is stored. In
addition, verify that you have synchronized the target SmartServer with the OpenLNS
network database containing the external network variables or configuration properties you
are copying. See Adding an OpenLNS Server to the LAN in Chapter 3 for more information
on adding an OpenLNS Server to the LAN and synchronizing the SmartServer to an
OpenLNS network database.
c. Expand the LNS Server item, and then enter the User Name and Password for logging in to
the OpenLNS Server via the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2. You initially specified the user
name and password in the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 installer. If you forgot the user
name and password, you can right-click the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 tray icon(
) in
the notification area of your computer, and then click Options on the shortcut menu.
d. In the OpenLNS tree, expand the OpenLNS network database, channel, device, and functional
block containing the network variable to be copied to the local SmartServer, right-click the
network variable, and then select Create External NV on the shortcut menu. To copy
multiple network variables, click one, and then either hold down CTRL and click all others to
be copied or hold down SHIFT and select another to select the entire range, right-click one of
the selected network variables, and then click Create External NV on the shortcut menu.
Note: If you have one or more remote SmartServers on the LAN, the Create External NV
option is not available in the shortcut menu of the network variable in the OpenLNS tree.
Instead, right-click the network variable in the OpenLNS tree, select Copy External NV on
the shortcut menu, right-click any object in the network tree of the target SmartServer, and
then click Paste External on the shortcut menu.
